- 1.5 lbs ground turkey
- 2 12 oz cans of crushed tomatoes instead of Rotel and sauce. I blended one can to smooth it out. I also wanted to use organic and avoid added salt.
- Doubled the spices except the salt
- A cup of frozen tri-color peppers instead of one fresh. The fresh organic ones at the store looked a bit wrinkly and now I have more left for the next batch.
- Added a can of black beans, rinsed
- Served with pepper jack cheese I shredded myself and low fat sour cream. No avocado because I had some in my smoothie for breakfast.
This was good - nice and spicy.
The first time I made this was a couple months ago but I just posted it today. I made it again but used ground cayenne pepper. I think I need to buy some chili powder. It definitely needed some more heat. I also cooked it on medium high heat onto e stove because I started it late.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying this today. Smells good so far! I did add some white northern beans.... in my house chili isn't considered chili without some type of beans. ;)
ReplyDeleteSame here! I like this recipe as a starting point, but I change it up a bit based on what I have around.
ReplyDeleteThis was really tasty! Next time I think I might add a jalapeño or use the Rotel original tomatoes instead of mild... just to give it a little more kick!
